Dear Doerre Families,

🎉 The Final Countdown to Fall Break! 🎉

We’ve made it to the last week of the quarter, and Fall Break is almost here! Our students and staff have worked hard this first quarter, and we’re so proud of all they’ve accomplished.

This Friday, we’ll celebrate with our Quarter 1 Behavior Incentive and run the PRIDE Games/Choice Rooms bell schedule to close out the week with some fun and school spirit!

Thank you for your continued support in helping make Doerre such a great place for our students to learn and grow. Let’s finish the quarter strong and head into Fall Break on a high note! 🍂✨

With gratitude,
Annie Welday-Zimney
Principal, Doerre Intermediate

Quarter One QSE Testing

The image below is updated as of 10/5 and should contain all testing information for this week!

Q1 PBIS Team Behavior Incentive

As we approach the end of the quarter, we want to reward students who do right! On Oct. 10, we will have our first quarter behavior incentive and reward our amazing Doerre Warriors who uphold our standard of excellence each and every day at Doerre Intermediate. This quarter's incentive is based on referrals. Students that have 2 or more referrals from September 25th through October 9th will not be able to participate. Please see the graphic below for information that has been communicated to students.

Hispanic Heritage Month

September 15th through October 15th is National Hispanic Heritage Month! To honor and celebrate one of our core values in P.R.I.D.E.—Diversity—Doerre is recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month with several special activities:

Displays around the building
Daily announcements highlighting the achievements of individuals of Hispanic heritage
Fun dress-up days!
Music in the cafeteria

Dress-Up Days:

10/3: "Como La Flor" – Wear flowers to celebrate!
10/10: Celebrate with vibrant, festive colors!

We look forward to celebrating the remainder of this meaningful month with our entire Doerre community!

Doerre Daily Announcements

Did your student hear something on the announcements and can’t remember all the details? HERE is a link to the daily announcements for Quarter One that are read each day during first period.

"Warrior Waves"

A Warrior Wave is a positive student referral. The student, a parent/guardian, Mrs. WZ, and the student's AP will receive an email notification of the award. There will also be monthly recognition and certificates for all students who earn a #WarriorWave. Each week, we will use the #WarriorWave nominations to choose a Warrior of the Week for each grade level. We are excited about this new way to celebrate our many students who exemplify our #DoerrePRIDE Core Values every day and set the Warrior Way Standard of Excellence at Doerre Intermediate. Parents, if you receive a Warrior Wave in your email- its a celebration!!

Schedule Changes and Class Leveling

At this time, counselors are making as few schedule changes as possible and only for extenuating circumstances. If you have any questions about a specific schedule change, please reach out to your child's counselor.

Please note that moving forward, all requested schedule changes will require collaboration between the teacher/parent through a parent conference. Administrators and counselors are available to help support any conferences or conversations about class concerns.

Doerre Tutorial Schedule/Process 25-26

To ensure all students are safely supervised, we do not student allow entry unless their teacher is present. Between 8:00 and 8:25, students can enter the building for tutorials through the secondary front door (the entrance nearest the handicap parking spots). Students must present their student ID and sign in, indicating where they will attend. Students will only be permitted to attend tutorials for teachers who have marked themselves present.

Here is the tutorial schedule for the 25-26 school year: Doerre Tutorial Schedule. Once the teacher arrives, they will turn their name green on this sheet, and our tutorial door greeter will know to let those students in for tutorials. Teacher AM Tutoring Check-In Sheet

After 8:25, students will not be able to enter the building until the bell rings at 8:35, allowing our staff time to prepare for the school day and report to their morning duty stations.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding!
